Winning the Patent Damages Case: A Litigator's Guide to Economic Models and Other Damage Strategies

Patent litigation is a lengthy and expensive exercise typically dominated by scientific and technical inquiry, but the economic side of a case-namely, the damages phase-is too often neglected. In such instances, substantial economic damage to the plaintiff and potentially devastating financial consequences to the defendant are given too little priority before and during litigation, which can result in an ineffective damages case and create unnecessary expenses. Conducting sophisticated economic analysis and creative discovery for the damages case from the outset can help prevent this detrimental result.

By focusing on how to build an analytical framework for likely damages awards, Winning the Patent Damages Case provides valuable information on how to structure a patent case from an economic standpoint, from start to finish. Author Richard Cauley offers practical tools and insights to allow patent litigants to attain the best damages award possible.
